Fiona-baby, please wait some while longer before you get to the world to meet your lovely mommy, your daddy and your big brother, OK?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
BBC America showed Scold's Bridle this week. Can someone tell me what accent Bob Peck was using during it?
I spent a lot of time staring hard at two of the female cast -- turned out to be Sting's wife and Kate Winslet's sister.

Much ~ma to you, Fiona.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
OK, so I've belatedly discovered the new Doctor Who, thanks to the wonders of CBC on Seattle cable. Can anyone point me to good websites, fanfic, etc.?

I'm surfing tv.cream.org, and am looking through their list of things that must come back. #6 contains some damned true writing:
The Adventure Game
WHAT WAS IT?
A whimsical junior sci-fi game show in which a trio of agreeable celebs of the Johnny Ball/Floella Benjamin variety were set fiendishly complicated mental and physical tasks by a troupe of rather devious shape-shifting aliens, to be completed on pain of death by evaporation.
WHY SHOULD IT COME BACK?
It is, quite simply, the most well-remembered programme ever shown on British television, pound-for-pound. Only 22 episodes were made in total, but we’ve yet to come across anyone between the ages of 35 and 25 who doesn’t harbour some nagging vestigial memory of growling aspidistras, vortices, Drognas, or Keith Chegwin trying to communicate with a backwards-talking Australian. The pleasant eccentricity that ran throughout the programme is the very thing that has made it so enduring, a vindication of the carefree, pre-focus group era of ‘just stick some chaps in a room until they come up with a programme’ telly.
Only 22 episodes? I loved that show. I'm still kinda freaked out by aspidistras.

Hey, I remember that one too, ita. I always loved Johnny Ball.
Sadly, my most fondly-remembered and missed kids' show, Jigsaw (starring my future university lecturer David Cleveland and future Dr. Who Sylvester McCoy) doesn't get a great TV Cream rating.
And speaking of Dr. Who... I don't know of any good sites, Susan, but let us know here if you find some. The new series is good, isn't it? Although last week's episode was, I thought, one of the weaker ones. The previous WW2 double was a knockout.

Strawberry disappointment.
I remember that too. I remember Graham Garden using his massive shiny brain to waltz through all the tests.
